Shifting
This model has a 6-speed forward transmis-
sion. The transmission allows you to control
the amount of power you have available at a
given speed or for starting, accelerating,
climbing hills, etc. To shift into neutral, return
the throttle lever to its original position, apply
the clutch and repeatedly depress the shift
pedal until it stops. When it stops, it will be in
first gear. Raise the pedal slightly to neutral.

Do not coast for long periods with the
engine off, and do not tow the machine a
long distance. Even in neutral position,
the transmission is only properly lubri-
cated when the engine is running.
Inadequate lubrication may cause dam-
age.

Always use the clutch when changing
gears. The engine, transmission and
drive train are not designed to withstand
the shock of forced shifting and can be
damaged by shifting without the clutch.
